A team of 6 Cubs from Portal Pack, Sebastian, Magnus, Freddie, Tom, George and Eli took part in this year's Chester District Craft Competition. Over 2 hours the team had to make a model of a pirate ship, design a poster advertising the Chamboree camp being held this year and design t shirts to wear at the camp with a pirate theme. Marks were awarded for team working, behaviour, tidiness and the work that was produced.

As Winners, the Cubs now go on to represent the District at the County Final.

Cubs from Portal Pack visited the Mid Cheshire Foodbank at Winsford to deliver their collection of items to help needy families over the Christmas period. They learned about what happens once the items are donated. They recieved a Certificate to mark their efforts.

Portal Pack Cubs had a weekend camp away recently venturing across the border to explore the darkest corners of Chirk.
